Comment on please recommend a simple selfhosted photo gallery

  All of its install steps other than docker compose are still containers, or relate to hosting services, or specific managed platforms.

  I’m a simple admin who likes to compile, copy to /usr/bin, prep my system user, populate a directory in /etc with all necessary configs, and write my own .service files.

  If you like running single binaries in their own Docker instances, more power to you, but it rubs me the wrong way when people try to force that on me.

  NB: I’m not above reading a Dockerfile and executing the steps manually, case in point: that’s how I build lemmy_server for my current instance… but the Immich steps are waay too involved, with too much of the software expecting some less than sane defaults for me. I went through it once, left a bad taste in my mouth, so I stopped using Immich.

    What about podman quadlets?

    Dunno about immich, but photoprism also has a bunch of CUDA libs that would otherwise be a pain to maintain specific version sets on the host.

    Even though this kind of proofs your point as this script is really long. I just wanted to recommend the community script install source as a good starting point for installing more complex software baremetal. immich-install-script
